[Plugin: WordPress Mobile Pack] Permissions Issues

This might solve your problem:
Check wp-content/themes/
You’ll see there these directories:
mobile-pack-base, blue, green and red
Are they empty? Then upload in wp-content/themes the same directories (mobile-pack-base, blue, green and red)that live also here: wp-content/plugins/wordpress-mobile-pack/themes/
chmod the directories 777

Just been scratching my head over this issue for a customer.

I implore the dev’s of this plugin to remove the usage of is_executable() for checking exec permissions on directories. Its known that since PHP5 is_executable() is not reliable when checking directories rather than files.

Here’s how I sussed it after experiencing this problem:

1. Deactivate the plugin.
2. Reactivate the plugin.
3. You will now see a warning message about upgrading your theme files. Click “yes”. This will transfer the changes you made to the theme files in /wp-content/plugins/wordpress-mobile-pack to /wp-themes, overriding the 777 errors.

I might give that a shot when I have an hour or so free, I’ll post the results.

I’ve found *so many* pages complaining about this error, from a few versions ago all the way through to the current release.

I’m sure its a great plugin (although I haven’t got it working yet), but maybe it shouldn’t be released to the public until it works?

I think most people will just give up and use a plugin that actually works, regardless of how awsomely megacool this one is.

Same problem here. Changing permissions is no solution.

@tobiasbray Are you referring to PHP Safe mode? I switched that off but it do not help.
